But something strange is going on, I didn't see your picture either.I pasted your direct link in the URL-bar of my browser it shows the pic! When I then go back to this thread, the pic in your post visible!

Looks like your service only serves the link if you load it directly from them, likely to prevent this very use. Once it's in your browser cache, it works here until it expires. Unless they have a way to truly link directly to the image, I guess you can't use them for this purpose.

I have had zero problems with using Photobucket to store web images, then linking to them when I post elsewhere. I always use the thumbnail image code, which you just click on to copy into your buffer, and then paste into your post here. You get a nice small image that won't choke DSL lines, and when you click on it you get taken to the actual full-sized image at the site - in this case Photobucket. Not enough people think about it, but when there is a full-sized image embedded here, and people then lazily include it when quoting a post, the page quickly becomes too massive for a DSL user to load easily. I have topics on Ignore because of this.

This is the URL to paste between the IMG tags obtained by clicking on the 'Img' button in the edit box toolbar. I find it least annoying to paste the raw link in between the img tags and then edit the URL inline.

1. Upload your picture from the computer to a free picture hosting site like imageshack.us2. If the site gives an option to resize your image use an size which is less than 800 pixels wide. For eg. Imageshack gives an option for "message boards" of 640x480. 3. The site will give upload your photo and then give a code to use in forums, like the below.
